Conclusions

• Clear evidence of geographical patterns of ethnic concentration, immigration and internal migration at this spatial scale but clear evidence of linkage less compelling

• Some evidence to suggest that non-white immigration streams are reinforcing ethnic concentrations in metropolitan areas ….. but ethnic communities growing through natural increase

• Inclusion of students in the data sets is problematic because of different motivations that govern migration

• Some evidence of relationship between non-white immigration and white net migration for London boroughs and metropolitan areas but cant say that ‘non-white immigration is driving white out-migration’

• More work needed to look in detail at patterns and relationships for particular cities
